I do not think this is a conflict between qt4-mac and qt4-kde.
For one thing, it happens during the destroot phase
and not during activation.

The last time I saw an error like this, it was because an install had
started, been stopped, and then restarted.

In this scenario:
lrelease was created, the install was stopped, and then an attempt was
made to create lrelease again (an error).

If this is the case, then
port clean qt4-kde
port install qt4-kde
should solve the problem.
